Any programs near Asheville, NC

AB tech has a great program, as they partner with WCU to complete the program with a BSN if you want to go that route or you could just complete the associates program. There is the community college in Waynesville too that I've heard is a great school. There is Blue Ridge CC as well, but I've not heard heads or tails about their program. They are in Fairview btw. There are some great ppl on this board looking at AB tech who could give you a lot more info then I could as I live just an hour outside of Asheville and I'm not as familiar with the programs. All I know is AB tech gets a lot of applicants so for what's worth, I'd have high test scores and a high GPA.

Take Care,

Hello, I am will be finished with my pre-req's this semester and am looking to move soon. I was thinking about Asheville, NC, does anyone know of any reputable programs in the area?

I just graduated from South College Asheville in March. Our class had a 100% first time NCLEX pass rate and 100% job placement. The next ADN program starts in January, BSN is set to begin soon too I believe. When I was researching schools, everywhere else had a 2+ year waiting list and a few of the schools nursing programs were on probation. I was really impressed with their program and now that I'm in practice I can say I feel better prepared than other new grads I've worked with... don't get me wrong I'm still very green, but many say they didn't feel as prepared transitioning into practice. South College: 828-398-2535, Michael is one of the admissions reps, have him make an appointment for you to talk to Wendy the head of the nursing department.
